"The Hidden Truths of Parenting" by Ohad Ouziel
This is the story of one man’s battle against the forces of nature - the little bundles of joy who are his children. Who are also bundles of goo, unstoppable mayhem, and constantly say poo. The Hidden Truths of Parenting takes an irreverent look at parenting, and provides a uniquely realistic and funny look into fatherhood. Based on http://www.hiddentruthsofparenting.com/ "The Hidden Truths of Parenting" are a series of short gags with no text, each followed by a slate with the relevant “Hidden Truth”.
Punch ! by Kiwi Animation
PUNCH! is a series that deconstructs, spoofs and skewers celebrity news. The whole gang’s here: stars of the web, television, movies, sports, politics, nothing in particular…
Using cutout animation, which is to say a few photographs and a voice impersonator, the spoofed star is hijacked for the purposes of media parody, bogus advertising, “serious” biography, news reporting or exclusive interviews and so on to absurdity!
PUNCH! invariably features an impossibly stellar cast that only the use of caricature could assemble.
